Ella Bleu Hase (born 2002) is an American soccer player who plays as a forward. She played college soccer for the Northwestern Wildcats and the Duke Blue Devils.
Early life and college career
[edit]Hase grew up in Orland Park, Illinois, one of three children born to Rog and Deborah Hase. Her sister, Kylie, played college soccer for Purdue.[1][2] She played club soccer for Chicago Inter and attended Sandburg High School. She played high school soccer only in her junior year, earning all-state honors with 7 goals and 8 assists as Sandburg made their sectional final, before her senior season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
Northwestern Wildcats
[edit]Hase appeared in all 71 games (67 starts) for the Northwestern Wildcats from 2020 to 2023. She was deployed at left back during her first two seasons, starting every game as a freshman and all but four as a sophomore.[1][5] As a junior, she moved to the more offensive role of wingback, scoring 4 goals and providing a team-second-high 7 assists, including the winning assist in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament. Northwestern qualified for the NCAA tournament, where Hase played every minute as they made the third round before falling to eventual champions UCLA.[1][6][7] She was used further forward in her senior season, leading the team with 10 goals, adding 3 assists, and earning second-team All-Big Ten honors.[7][8]
Duke Blue Devils
[edit]After four seasons in Evanston, Hale entered the transfer portal and was recruited by the Duke Blue Devils. She appeared in all 22 games (21 starts) of the 2024 season, helping Duke ascend to the No. 1 ranking in the nation and claim the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) regular-season title with an unbeaten conference record. She scored 3 goals and jointly led the team with 13 assists (tied with Mia Oliaro), which ranked second in the nation. She had four assists during the NCAA tournament as Duke made the semifinals before being stopped by rivals North Carolina. Hase was named to the All-ACC second team and the NCAA all-tournament team.[2][3][9]
